ATI cannot make working video drivers

[Blkout]

How about you get a prescription for glasses? Same thing shown in this thread is clearly visible in that old article, I wonder how nobody picked it up earlier:

On HD 5xxx you still have a huge gray disk killing all the texture details and abrupt transition to unfiltered area, while both HD 4xxx and NVIDIA have gradually increasing filtering towards center of the frame as it should be.

The problem is that everyone keeps staring only at the pretty rainbow colored circle which shows how HD 5xxxx has angle independent anisotropic filtering, but they keep missing the loss of detail and abrupt transitions.

I don't need glasses and the colored area is the only area you should be concerned with. This same AF test has been used for years on most tech sites when reviewing video cards and never once that I can recall has a reviewer ever mentioned being concerned with the gray area. The colored circle is the benchmark sample. If you can find information from a credible tech site that says the gray area is important as well, please post it. The colored area is what determines the quality of the filter.
